Summary: This study demonstrates the presence of a gut-brain axis in fish, as different types and lengths of fatty acids impact feed intake and appetite-regulatory centers in rainbow trout. The findings have important implications for aquaculture due to variations in fatty acid composition in aquafeeds.

Summary: In this study, mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq were performed to investigate the regulatory profile of miRNAs and mRNAs in lactation in donkeys. The results revealed differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in lactating and nonlactating groups, and identified key miRNAs that target genes involved in immunity and milk component metabolism. These findings contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating bioactive milk component metabolism in donkeys and have potential implications for improving milk production.

Summary: This experiment evaluated the effects of sodium butyrate (SB) on milk production, ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestion, and the development and metabolism of the mammary gland in dairy cows. The results showed that adding SB can increase milk production and milk fat synthesis.

Summary: Limited research suggests that oscillating dietary crude protein concentration may improve nitrogen use efficiency in growing ruminants. This study found that a total mixed ration based on oscillating CP did not significantly increase NUE in lactating dairy cows, but did result in higher apparent total-tract digestibility and milk urea concentration, with transient effects on milk yield and composition.

Summary: Manganese (II) accumulation in human brain microvascular endothelial cells is mediated by the metal-ion transporters ZIP8 and ZIP14. The membrane localization of ZIP8 and ZIP14 is regulated by cytoplasmic Ca2+, which affects their manganese uptake.

Summary: The study found that maternal MPOD in the early postpartum period is positively correlated with the dietary intake of alpha-carotene and the breastmilk content of lutein. MPOD may serve as a potential marker for the intake of carotenoids, especially alpha-carotene, in mothers in the early postpartum period.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of enhancing maternal protein or energy intake on embryonic survival during early gestation in gilts and found that increasing protein or energy intake significantly increased embryonic survival rate. The study also discovered that maternal protein and energy intake likely mediate the transportation of amino acids from mother to foetus, affecting embryonic development.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary lysine restriction on the global gene expression profile of skeletal muscle in growing pigs. The results showed that lysine restriction diet led to differential expression of genes, mainly involved in the functional annotation of structural molecules and metabolic enzymes. Additionally, changes in acute-phase response and amino acid metabolism in the extracellular matrix region were also observed.

Summary: Limited research exists on the association between carbohydrate intake and oral microbiome diversity and composition. This study investigated the relationship between carbohydrate intake and the oral microbiome in post-menopausal women. The results showed that higher intake of total carbohydrates, glycemic load, starch, lactose, and sucrose were negatively associated with oral microbiome diversity. The microbial composition also varied based on the intake of carbohydrates and glycemic load. Specific bacteria were associated with the intake of sucrose, glycemic load, and lactose.
